The bot summary claiming the market is worth $500 this year is hilarious

It’s hilarious that they think being an advertising tool would help cover even a miniscule fraction of the money they’re hemorrhaging.

I mean, the last one is true if you’re coming from the standpoint of the rider.

Breath of fresh air

How will they maintain their office real estate portfolio if the demand for offices drops precipitously?

Modern studies using freezers with well-understood properties have observed the Mpemba effect where water supercools before freezing. Water that starts out cooler tends to reach a lower supercooled temperature before freezing.

Also from the Wikipedia article.

If you define the Mpemba effect as hot water reaching 0 degrees faster, then no, it’s not observable. But if you define the Mpemba effect as heated water freezing sooner, (remembering that freezing can initiate below the “freezing point” when water is subcooled) then the Mpemba effect may be observed.

If true, it would be interesting that cool water is less likely to nucleate and form ice than water that was heated.

It’s been a while since I watched that video, but didn’t the person you reply to address every point stated in the video?

The only other point not stated in the video (but is mentioned in the more recent video) is to not use a brand that also sells pods, because they’re likely making the powder shittier to upsell you on pods.

Damn I guess I have female nipples

I’ve discovered a fundamental flaw in this study. A few reasons people use carrots is that they are cheap, and they are discreet. Presumably this variant would be significantly more expensive. Also, nobody thinks you’re buying a regular to pleasure yourself, not the cashier, not your wife.

I wish that was the case where I live.

Most humans have 3 working types of colour receptors that roughly correspond to red, green, and blue. A small number of people have a fourth, letting them see colours we can’t even conceive of. My friend has this and it makes me jealous.

We can’t kill fascists because, gasp, they have families too!

Krita solves at least your second problem. I love Krita

I have been more often disappointed by sci-hub than satisfied, but maybe I just tend to look up more obscure or new research.

As if alcohol isn’t worse

“people in the post-Roman world were taller and healthier”

This is indicative of the timescale the researcher is examining. People don’t grow taller after they’re adults. Populations grow taller.

Societal collapse is bad, many people will die. It’s just good after the fact, if you survive. Unfortunately, the bourgeoisie forces the dichotomy: socialism or barbarism.

It is not a cost to them. It is the point.

Most zoomers are adults. 96 to 2010 means only the youngest zoomers are minors. In 3 years, every zoomer will be a legal adult.

Well, a nuclear power plant typically has at least one reactor.

Being less of an ass, yes, you’re right, there’s also reactors not part of a public electricity generating station. Mostly military, but some for training.
